Chapter 85

"Captain Wan, Miss Liu has pleaded guilty."

"Oh?" Wan Tutou looked at the boy in front of him, feeling a little surprised.

He had just finished interrogating Liu Fangfei's maid, the little girl looked flustered, her words were incoherent, there were many contradictions, she was full of loopholes, she couldn't stand scrutiny at all.

He wanted to use this as a reason to pry Liu Fangfei's mouth open, but he didn't expect that Ah Fu would directly make Liu Fangfei confess.

"What did she say?"

"Miss Liu admitted that Babao was killed by mistake, but...the point is not this, she said that she has other important matters to report to you, and she wants to use this to save her life."

Wan Butou looked at Fang Jingzhe with scrutiny.

Convincing Liu Fangfei to plead guilty is not a big deal, after all, there are so many evidences in front of her, so Liu Fangfei can't make up any new tricks.

However, it is not easy for Liu Fangfei to voluntarily confess other things besides pleading guilty.

At this moment, Wan Butou faintly felt that the seemingly ordinary boy in front of him didn't seem so ordinary either.

"Okay, come with me and listen to what she has to say."

Fang Jingzhe followed Wan Tutou into Liu Fangfei's room, and found that Liu Fangfei was completely different from before.

If she was a cold and proud fairy before, she is now a snowflake falling into the mud, and she has completely lost her arrogance.

Wan Butou was not polite, went straight to the table and sat down, put the saber across the table, and asked straight to the point: "Liu Fangfei, is it true that you killed Babao?"

"True." Liu Fangfei answered softly with lowered eyes.

"When and how you committed the crime, tell me in detail, and you must not miss a single bit."

Liu Fangfei cooperatively revealed the whole process of how she killed Babao.

Wan Butou didn't change his expression and didn't interrupt, but just listened quietly.

Fang Jingzhe knew that this guy didn't believe him, and he had to compare Liu Fangfei's confession with what he saw during the on-site investigation before he could decide whether to believe it or not.

"...That's the way it is. I've already explained everything." After Liu Fangfei finished speaking, she sighed, as if she had lost her energy again.

After listening to Catcher Wan, he didn't draw a conclusion right away. He could hear that what Liu Fangfei said was basically true, but he didn't tell the whole truth. Many details hadn't been explained yet. I don't know if she accidentally omitted it or deliberately concealed it.

"Let me ask you, why did you kill Babao?"

"He is my junior brother, and we all come from the Mo family."

"The Mo family?"

Rao is such a person as Wan Tutou, when he heard the word "Mojia", he couldn't help but shudder.

"Yes, it's the Mohist school. I always thought that before my master passed away, I passed the most important secret scriptures of the Mohist sect to Babao, so I kept fighting with him, and followed his trail all the way, trying to get back the secret scriptures."

Wan Butou nodded and said, "That's the grievances of Jianghu. Also, let me ask you, what happened to the talisman?"

Liu Fangfei didn't answer, but stood up, took a step back, and suddenly knelt down on one leg and said, "Catcher Wan, the little girl has something to tell you!"

"What's the secret?"

"I want to expose Xia Zijin. She came to the Oiran Competition with other plans."

"What's the plan?"

"She... wants to cheat on the current saint!"

Snapped!
Wan Catcher stood up abruptly, slapped the saber on the table with his right hand, stared at Liu Fangfei murderously, and asked word by word:
"What's her plan? Why does she want to do something wrong?"

After finishing speaking, he suddenly turned his head to look at Fang Jingzhe, and Fang Jingzhe's whole body trembled when he stared at him.

"Ask someone to guard the door, and no one will approach within ten feet. Anyone who violates the law will be killed on the spot!"

……

"... Behind Xia Zijin, there is a master who calls himself 'Tu'. He is very concerned about this oiran competition, especially the prize that His Majesty added. That master made an agreement with me before, and he helped me find someone—just to find me Junior Brother Eight Treasures, the condition is that after I become the oiran, I will have a look at the Tianji Creation Pill with him."

"But for some reason, Xia Zijin and her master suddenly changed their minds. They no longer help me win the championship, but Xia Zijin wants to approach the emperor himself."

"Is this true?"

Liu Fangfei nodded fiercely: "I dare not be fake."

Wan Catcher held the saber in his hand, pondered for a while, and continued to ask:

"Liu Fangfei, do you know that if what you said is true, this is a big event that will shatter the sky! Why did you risk the crime of beheading and betray your accomplice?"

Xia Zijin looked up at Wan Butou, with a sullen expression on her face: "Xia Zijin wanted to kill me, but she stole the talisman from me and handed it in to you, in order to prove my guilt. And..."

She gritted her teeth and said angrily: "She also snatched away the mechanism treasure box of my Mo family. She took my treasure and also my life. How could I let her enter the palace safely and become a concubine!"

At this point, Wan Tutou felt that all the flaws and doubts had been made up.

He hung the saber back on his waist and sat back on the stool.

"What are you saying is true?"

"Really, now the Mohism mechanism box that hides the great secret is in her hands. If Catcher Wan doesn't believe it, you can go to her room and search."

"What does the lock box look like?"

"It's a wooden cube with five colors of blue, black, red, yellow, and white on its five sides."

When Fang Jingzhe heard it, he thought: Fuck it!In order to cheat Xia Zijin, I rubbed off the color on it.If Wan Butou couldn't find him for a while, he would definitely think that Liu Fangfei was trying to bite her maliciously, and she, the interrogator, would have to suffer.

Wan Butou got up and said: "Since you admit to killing Babao, I will order someone to send you to the Jinling government office immediately. But..."

He looked at Liu Fangfei, and said slowly: "You must not tell anyone about the conspiracy you mentioned. Otherwise, let alone survive, the girl may not even be able to keep her whole body."

After finishing speaking, Catcher Wan signaled Fang Jingzhe to leave the room with him.

……

Wan Butou took Fang Jingzhe to the topmost room on this floor, where the maid was interrogated alone before.

When Fang Jingzhe saw it, his heart immediately became clear, and he was going to be judged.

"Do you think what Liu Fangfei said is true or false?"

In his heart, Catcher Wan only believed Liu Fangfei's words to a third.

He had seen a lot of things between these women in the past investigations.

What about the main house and the concubine reporting on each other, several concubines exposing each other, and drugging each other in order to fight for favor, etc. In short, some of the methods are so vicious that he feels shuddering when he sees them.

Now that Liu Fangfei suddenly pleaded guilty, she probably felt that she couldn't escape.

But reporting on Xia Zijin is more likely to be a backstop before he dies.

Because of His Majesty's oral order, Xia Zijin has long been on the cusp of the storm.

However, when it came to the safety of the emperor, he had to be extremely careful, so he wanted to hear what this young man had to say.

As for Fang Jingzhe, he definitely won't protect Xia Zijin at this moment, and he has to find a way to tactfully point out the fading of the Mohist mechanism box to prove that he and Liu Fangfei are indeed innocent in this matter.

"It's a big deal, and I don't dare to talk about small things."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Yes." Fang Jingzhe made a gesture and began to perform, "The conspiracy Liu Fangfei said is too scary, and it cannot be ruled out that she was biting at random before she died. After all, Xia...Zijin has become a thorn in the flesh of everyone. But , listening to what she said is convincing, it doesn't seem like it was made up randomly. I'm a humble person, so I don't dare to extrapolate."

This kid is quite a thief!

Catcher Wan cursed secretly in his heart, this guy not only stood in line very quickly, "Miss Xia" changed to "Xia Zijin", but also talked in circles, saying that he said nothing, and he couldn't find fault.

"Then what she said about Xia Zijin's plan, you are Xia Zijin's servant, do you feel anything unusual about her recently?"

"Wan Butou, the little one doesn't often serve Xia Zijin on weekdays. Only when she goes out or needs to run errands, will the servant girl order the little one, so there is no clue."

Wan Catcher clenched his fists, if it wasn't for his status as a member of the public family, he would have wanted to beat up the slippery boy in front of him.

Fang Jingzhe immediately showed a embarrassed expression, and continued: "As for the Mohism box that Miss Liu said, I think it is difficult to prove it, after all, it is quite difficult to find."

As soon as Catcher Wan heard what he said, he immediately became interested and asked, "Why is such a special thing so hard to find?"

"Think about it, it's a square box painted with some color. If someone destroys the color, it will be inconsistent with what Liu Fangfei said. Then Wan Butou must think that she was talking nonsense before she died, but it was herself. It's a reminder."

"Hmph, listen to what you said, have you seen that box?"

Fang Jingzhe was startled.

Wan Butou sneered.

Let me hold on to the braids?

"Catcher Wan is really wise! I did see that box in Miss Xia's room!"

Wan Butou was stunned for a moment, he thought he had caught the other party's flaw, but he didn't expect the other party to admit it directly.

"Have you seen it? Then tell me what it looks like?"

"It looks like a wooden cube with no color on all six sides."

"No color..." Wan Butou pondered for a while, "Where is that thing?"

Fang Jingzhe shook his head: "I don't know, I don't know, I saw it yesterday when I was delivering water to Xia Zijin, and it was on the coffee table in the back room. Since I haven't seen this thing before, I took a second look .”

……

Afterwards, Catcher Wan didn't ask any more questions, but let Fang Jingzhe stay where he was, and asked two followers to "protect" his safety at the door, and then he led a few people towards Xia Zijin's room.

Fang Jingzhe recalled his acting skills just now and the expression on Wan Tutou's face, and couldn't help feeling proud.

Time passed by every minute and every second, but Wan Butou never came back.

Could it be that this bitch Xia Zijin hid the piece of wood, but Wan Butou couldn't find it?That should have been back long ago.

Or are the two confronting each other?
No, the confrontation is due to the fact that both sides have considerable conditions, but apart from His Majesty's verbal order to save her life, Xia Zijin probably has no conditions that can impress Wan Butou.

But it's hard to say, the master's mouth is so good, what if he convinces Wan Butou?
That's a hell of a fucking way to open the door to a shit--bad shit!

If these two join forces, the first one will definitely kill him!
Just thinking of this, there was a loud bang suddenly.The windows in the house were all shaken open, and the original intact hemp paper on the door was blown by the strong wind and broke several holes.

Fang Jingzhe rushed directly to the door, opened the door and saw that the two guards who were protecting him were bleeding from their seven orifices and passed out.

Just protect me?

Who protects whom?
